According to the National Institute of Mental Health, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder in which the person may have some difficulty communicating and interacting, and presents repetitive behaviors and restricted interests.

One of the ways to live with autism is by attending educational, psychological, and behavioral therapy. These programs involve family members in highly structured and intensive interventions aimed at assisting people with ASD in a few ways, such as reducing challenging behaviors and building upon strengths.

In these behavioral and educational programs, people with ASD can learn skills necessary to live independently, such as social, language, and communication skills.
